Fly Fight

Description

It's one fly versus another in a no-holds-barred fight to the death! Try to hit your opponent from above, but don't let them pounce on you instead!

Mechanics

• Your fly moves forward continuously.
• Pressing your control button adjusts your fly's angle.
• The screen wraps horizontally and vertically.
• When the flies collide:
  • The fly with the lower altitude takes damage.
  • Both flies reverse direction.
  • Both flies become temporarily invincible.
  • Controls are temporarily disabled (because the flies are dizzy and need a moment to regain their bearings).
• Reduce your opponent's HP to zero to win.

Modes

• 1P vs. 2P: A standard two-player battle, with each player having their own PICO-8 controller.
• 1P vs. 2P (Handheld Device): A two-player battle mode designed for play on phones or other handheld devices. Pressing any directional key controls player one; pressing (X) or (O) controls player two.
• 1P vs. COM: A one-player game against a computer-controlled opponent.
• COM vs. COM: A zero-player mode where two computer-controlled flies do battle.
